BioBlitz @ Douglas Dam

DLiA has partnered with TVA and regional scientists to engage people in a biological inventory of TVA’s public lands through BioBlitzes. Join us for this free, family-friendly event. It’s a fun, hand-on opportunity to learn about the flora and fauna in our area! No experience is necessary. BioBlitzes incorporate field collection, specimen identification and education. They offer an opportunity to get to know the biodiversity in our backyard and help TVA to better manage natural areas through species occurrence data. Participants will survey birds, insects, plants, and other organisms using nets and provided collection and preservation equipment. Experts will be on hand to train participants and identify species. We use the smartphone application, iNaturalist, to document biodiversity and ask that you install it on your phone beforehand, if possible. (It’s a very useful app, in general!)
